I think I never touched that file:
$ ls -all /etc/smartd*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6810 2008-07-24 10:08 /etc/smartd.conf
$ cat /etc/smartd.conf
# /etc/smartd.conf
# Configuration file for smartd. Use "man smartd.conf" for more information.
# Home page is: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net
# smartd will re-read the configuration file if it receives a HUP
# signal
# The file gives a list of devices to monitor using smartd, with one
# device per line. Text after a hash (#) is ignored, and you may use
# spaces and tabs for white space. You may use '\' to continue lines.
# You can usually identify which hard disks are on your system by
# looking in /proc/ide and in /proc/scsi.
# The word DEVICESCAN will cause any remaining lines in this
# configuration file to be ignored: it tells smartd to scan for all
# ATA and SCSI devices. DEVICESCAN may be followed by any of the
# Directives listed below, which will be applied to all devices that
# are found. Most users should comment out DEVICESCAN and explicitly
# list the devices that they wish to monitor.
DEVICESCAN -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner
# Alternative setting to ignore temperature and power-on hours reports
# in syslog.
#DEVICESCAN -I 194 -I 231 -I 9
# Alternative setting to report more useful raw temperature in syslog.

# and min/max temperatures.

# HERE IS A LIST OF DIRECTIVES FOR THIS CONFIGURATION FILE.
# PLEASE SEE THE smartd.conf MAN PAGE FOR DETAILS
#
# -d TYPE Set the device type: ata, scsi, marvell, removable, 3ware,N, hpt,L/M/N
# -T TYPE set the tolerance to one of: normal, permissive
# -o VAL Enable/disable automatic offline tests (on/off)
# -S VAL Enable/disable attribute autosave (on/off)
# -n MODE No check. MODE is one of: never, sleep, standby, idle
# -H Monitor SMART Health Status, report if failed
# -l TYPE Monitor SMART log. Type is one of: error, selftest
# -f Monitor for failure of any 'Usage' Attributes
# -m ADD Send warning email to ADD for -H, -l error, -l selftest, and -f
# -M TYPE Modify email warning behavior (see man page)
# -s REGE Start self-test when type/date matches regular expression (see man page)
# -p Report changes in 'Prefailure' Normalized Attributes
# -u Report changes in 'Usage' Normalized Attributes
# -t Equivalent to -p and -u Directives
# -r ID Also report Raw values of Attribute ID with -p, -u or -t
# -R ID Track changes in Attribute ID Raw value with -p, -u or -t
# -i ID Ignore Attribute ID for -f Directive
# -I ID Ignore Attribute ID for -p, -u or -t Directive
# -C ID Report if Current Pending Sector count non-zero
# -U ID Report if Offline Uncorrectable count non-zero
# -W D,I,C Monitor Temperature D)ifference, I)nformal limit, C)ritical limit
# -v N,ST Modifies labeling of Attribute N (see man page)
# -a Default: equivalent to -H -f -t -l error -l selftest -C 197 -U 198
# -F TYPE Use firmware bug workaround. Type is one of: none, samsung
# -P TYPE Drive-specific presets: use, ignore, show, showall
# # Comment: text after a hash sign is ignored
# \ Line continuation character
# Attribute ID is a decimal integer 1 <= ID <= 255
# except for -C and -U, where ID = 0 turns them off.
# All but -d, -m and -M Directives are only implemented for ATA devices
#
# If the test string DEVICESCAN is the first uncommented text
# then smartd will scan for devices /dev/hd[a-l] and /dev/sd[a-z]
# DEVICESCAN may be followed by any desired Directives.
Did that help?
